Abstract: A clamp for use with metal bar joists (or beams) has one or more steel angled bracket members or plates, adapted to fit under the corrugations of a corrugated steel roof. Each plate of the clamp is adapted to sit horizontally across a top of the bar joist perpendicular to the joist, and extend slightly over an edge of the joist. Each plate contains an elongate slot allowing a bolt to be inserted through the slot. A retainer heel clip is secured to an end of each such bolt. This retainer heel clip is tightened to the underside of the top flange of the bar joist using a washer and a threaded plate or nut, thus providing a clamping action. Each clamp has a vertical attachment tongue section of steel welded to it, including one or more elongate slots which complement perforations that occur along the length of a steel framing angle, allowing bolts to attach the clamp and the framing angle together. A pair of the clamps may be used to secure a pair of support angles for supporting a rod for hanging objects at desired locations within a roof support structure.

Filed: 2009-01-19
Abstract: Grandma's Original Drying Line is an innovative and eco-friendly laundry aid.  Its main purpose is to provide an arrangement of clothespins allowing the user to quickly and easily hang small garments and items. It is approximately 30 inches in length and is constructed of durable, yet lightweight, cloth (i.e. 10 oz. cotton duck) doubled and sewn to secure the suspended clothespins. In order to attach the clothespins, cotton tape is fed through the body of the pin and attached to the body of the cloth. This design allows approximately 14 suspended clothespins to hang in place.   The body of Grandma's Original Drying Line has 4 woven hook and loops (i.e.  Velcro.TM.-like products) sewn onto the backside to allow quick attachment and detachment to and from a clothesline.  The design allows for three (3) additional lengths of cotton tape to be sewn into the body to allow for attachment to an available rod or branch, etc. if no clothesline is available.  This makes the product also ideal for travel or camping. Grandma's Original Drying Line is compact and folds easily for storage or travel.

Abstract: A method is provided for decompressing an image originally compressed using a known compression technique. An original compressed image file is defined by a plurality of locations that correspond to image data. A set of smooth test images is created by iteratively applying a plurality of different size PIXON® kernels to each location of a starting image beginning with a smallest size kernel. Each smooth test image is compressed using the known compression technique, then compared against the original compressed image at each location of the image to determine a goodness- of-fit of the compressed smooth test image to each location of the original compressed image file. For each location, the smooth test image that has the largest size kernel that passes a pre-determined goodness-of-fit criterion is selected for a given location of the decompressed image. A compression method utilizes the PIXON® method for optimization of knot points within an image. The optimized knot points are used to interpolate image intensity between the knot points.
